To many Americans he was. But to many Vietnamese he was a nationalist hero, and to even a few Americans he was that as well, plus a friend, and ally and a comrade in arms during World War 2. It may be hard to paint Ho with any color other than gray, and now, nearly 50 years after his death and 40 years after the end of the American war in Vietnam, even that color has faded with time. What we do have are his words. 17HIST 410 Course Extrordinary Success -snaptutorial.comHIST 410N Week 6 Discussion DQ 1The End of the Cold War For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com The End of the Cold War What impact did Mikhail Gorbachevs ideas of glasnost (openness), perestroika (restructuring) and demokratizatsiia (democratization) have on Communist society?

Easy, but not the whole story. In order for Communism to be relegated to the dustbin of history, it first had to be proven that its struggle against Capitalism unecessary and thus irrelevant.

Time to do a victory lap and celebrate the primacy of American power. But the celebration seemed short-lived, as there were plenty of other concerns. Nothing is as it should be. Our adversaries are now our allies, and our allies are now competitors. The end of the Cold War knocked down the Iron Curtain, but it also destroyed conventional economic patterns. Is the end of the Cold War proving to be good for world peace, but not so good for world business? 22HIST 410 Course Extrordinary Success -snaptutorial.comThe Best way to predict the Future is to create it.....To Best way....www.snaptutorial.com
